safe my mate

South African slang meaning everything's OK/cool/just fine thank you. Often said with a unique hand gesture whereupon one makes a fist, with the two fingers at either side remaining extended.

"Safe my mate" is a common and accepted response to a friend's loud (often drunken) inquiry as to one's wellbeing, often from several rows back at a rugby or cricket match.
me: "Hey Mannie! Howzit going, man?"
Mannie: "Safe my mate!"
